Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood

With its unprecedented combination of authenticity, compelling story and squad-based action, the Brothers in Arms franchise has established itself as a benchmark for military action games, receiving the highest average review scores of any console WWII game to date (www.gamerankings.com).

So i have just recently installed BIA:EIB on my laptop that has windows 10 and the screen tends to glitch out a lot( going on and off etc). It kind of looks like the screen is flashing in a weird way.
Does anyone else have this problem? And, has anyone ...

Best damn WWII game I ever played period. As of now I have 50 hours, and have completed the game on Authentic the hardest difficulty. If I ever have children, and they are of the prerogative to play video games this is the♥♥♥♥♥♥I'd like them to play. Not mindless run, and gun Cod, or the SJW ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t of today. Brothers in Arms Earned in Blood puts the player in a Sargents position. You are in command of a fire team which lays suppression, and an assualt team which flanks. You must play this game tactically to win. Enemies have pinpoint accuracy which means you must use cover, and suppresion to your advantage. Timing, and positioning is everything. You have an overview mode which allows you to see enemy positions to plan your movements, and assualt.

Beautiful orchestral soundtrack which gives a vibe of patriotism, honor, valour, and adventure in a time of war. Fun tactical gameplay that relies on strategy. The game does hinder your aim, by nerfing it with some shifting making it hard to hit enemies. Although with practice I never had a problem nailing nazis from a distance with the Garand, or spraying them down with a B.A.R, or Thompson.

Which brings me to the weapons. I love the sounds. I love how beefy the Garand sounds. I love spraying the Thompson. It sounds mean as hell. Brothers in Arms did the American armament justice in this game. However the German weapons are in fact better. The kar98 has a really good sight picture, and is very accurate. The Mp40 is the best SMG in the game. The STG44 ( Sturmgewehr 44 ) is easily the best gun in the game. You will find that the firepower, and accuracy of the STG 44 will soften enemy positions allowing you to make more bold power moves on the enemy. However late into the game there will be FG 42 machine guns even with scopes. And the scoped FG 42 is perhaps the best gun in the game. I give it to the St44 though for the ammo capacity over the FG 42. Still those guns are the best.

The German war machine throws everything at you, and the kitchen sink. As a U.S Paratrooper in the 101st you will land behind enemy lines on D-Day. You will come across Wehrmacht (Heer Soldiers) Waffen SS, Fallschirmjäger, Stugs, Panzers, Tiger Tanks, entrenched machine gun positions, motar teams firing in your direction, Halftracks with mounted machine guns maneuvering to your flank. 88's firing artillery at you. You must find your enemy, fix their position, and flank them to win. Standing your ground, and trading lead all day is not an option. In some cases enemy motars will fix your positions. You must use your head, and be fast.

There is so much enjoyment to be had from this game. The playstyle I developed was to supress, and fix enemies fast, hitting them hard with the assualt team up close while I try to flank. On authentic difficulty the key is to listen to your battle-buddies because they will indicate emeny suppresion. "They're scared ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ / We got em pinned ect" Because in authentic there are no suppresion indicators like in normal or easy modes.

Did I mention you command a Stuart tank, a Sherman, and a Hellcat tank destoyer in certian levels? Telling your tank where to go, and who to attack is a challenge in itself. 88's, anti tank guns, and German infantry with panzerfäust pose a threat.

This game is a classic, and you unlock history facts, and extras by completing missions. You get a feel of brotherhood by the character personalities in the story. ( I have played all three games of the BiA franchise) I must say out of all three games this one is my favorite.

Arcade games that are hard, and require repetition for skill are my cup of tea. On authentic the game punishes you by not including save points. So you must complete an entire mission flawlessly. A daunting, and challenging task. They don't make video games like they used to back in the day. But that is what I like about this game. Strategy, and skill is required.

All this to say I reccomend this game. But not to those expecting a mindless run, and gun like Cod. If you want a challenge, and a strategic, historical fps this game is for you. But if you want to mindlessly run around and spray while streaming, and drinking a starbuck coffee then move your♥♥♥♥♥ This game is not for you son.

I'll be fond of this game for many years to come... It's perhaps even one of my favorite video games of all time as of now. I love it. And that will conclude my review. Show this game some love it deserves it.

This is one of my all time favourite games & I miss it so much. But I just upgraded to Windows 10 so would like to know if any other Windows 10 users are running this fine before I buy it.
Thanks in advance!

I know the publisher is Ubisoft. I just want to know if the Steam versions do require Uplay or not.
Can any owner who purchased them on Steam shed some light o this please?
I guess they do not require Uplay as it is not shown. But I fell too often for Ste...
